What's the oldest age any bodybuilder ever started bodybuilding and still became a professional bodybuilder?
If somebody is 28 and weighs like 140lb is there still a chance he can become a pro if he starts working out?

Also do not forget that Toney Freeman took many years off and restarted in his mid thirties.

I heard Joel Stubbs didn't start until he was about 28. Don't quote me on that though.

there is absolutely no way to tell. You do realize there are guys who compete, I'm not talking about just training, I'm talking compete for 20+ years and never go pro. You know that right?
And look at many of the guys who didn't train for bbing that long before they became pro. Many were already VERY VERY good athletes in high school and at the collegiate level. It's not like they did cardio once a week and thought "eh time to train hard and become a pro bber"

I believe Yates started at 21, and then of course overtook guys who had been training for years.

To dominate I'd say late teens, but there are exceptions.
